Valois Habsburg Wars Rd 2 1506

[PeterThePainter]

Well played to awesum4. The Swiss were awesome, blocks of 2,000 Elite troops a mere 75 POA up on Impact and 125 POA in the melee. I was surprised the Scottish Pikes stuck around long enough for some troops to get around the rear of the Swiss. A very educational loss.

How did the Swiss travel so fast carrying those Pikes? Did they practice running up the Alps so that when they fought on the plains it was easy?

Peter,

read up on the battle of St Jacob an de Birs.

The Swiss sent out a scouting party to find the French army. Most armies would send out light horse or light foot, They sent 1,500 pike men.
When they discovered the French army of 30,000 men instead of retiring on the main army, they held a meeting and decided to charge.....

Thanks Andre. I love it, the Swiss are wiped out and the French retreat because of "high" (10%) casualties! Ignore the note I sent you with the start of the latest game all my prevarication was wasted what I clearly needed was another block of pikes.

The Valois invaders are;

AHuyton using French 1494-1525 to capture Austria from Kiwiwarlord using Imperial 1494-1519

The French were battling away for over half a day against a very well positioned Imperialist army making use of woods and rough ground allowing their Artillery supported Crossbowmen, Bowmen and Arquebusiers to blast away several French units for no loss.
The frustrated French decided to go home for lunch and forget about Austria.

Imperialist (KiwiWarlord) 0% - French (ahuyton) 9%

Alex,

I'll remind him as I'm playing several games with him.
Next time if your opponent hasn't set it up after a week can you please post, we need to keep this moving along.

thanks,

Andre

Andre, I still have not heard from smjohnso77. It has been 3 weeks waiting for his challenge. If I do not get a challenge by the 8th of March(tomorrow) I am declaring an uncontested victory in Spain.

[awesum4]

Alex,

I told him several days ago, he said he would set it up immediately.

If the game had started I was going to declare a temporary Valois victory, with the true result posted later.

I will ask him whats going on and possibly declare your victory, its a pity its the first battle in 2 campaigns that hasn't been played out.

Thanks. Will check multiplayer games again. When I checked last, I could not find it. Can multiplayer be broken or not functioning properly. Anyways if it's there, then great.

[AlexDetrojan]

Ok, found it, but it says unknown custom scenario, is greyed out, and won't let me join it??

[Doyley50]

I have had another look and it seems that the challenge isn't a vanilla game but a modded "FOG 2 features " version, so you will have to get back to smjohnso77.

Oh, ok. So I'm assuming modded games are not multiplayer friendly if I don't have the same mod? Smjohnso77 or Andre, what is the procedure now?

[awesum4]

Alex,

we are playing Pike and shot, not FOG 2. I didn't see this until after I've played my game with him. I've asked him if he really wants to continue in the campaign.
I'll let you know the outcome of that. At a minimum he needs to set it up as apike and shot game.

Thanks. Well for the time being, we can still enjoy the sunny beaches of Spain...

Andre just bin the challenge and Declare Spain held otherwise it will place a massive time warp on the next Round.
Steve needs a little talking to re game set-up before the next Round

[awesum4]

The whole point of the campaign is to have people fight lots of battles against a variety of opponents.
As long as Alex and Steve are happy to play 2 games simultaneously there shouldn't be too big a problem.
I will declare Alex the winner for now and if necessary change to ownership later.

Alex,
I've given Steve another set of instructions so hopefully he now knows exactly what to set up and you can commence your game very soon.
